Catch SportsDay On Air twice per week on Fox Sports Southwest, when Dallas Morning News experts discuss hot sports topics from the Cowboys, Mavericks, Stars, Rangers and colleges (check our TV listings for air times). Here are a few highlights from Monday's episode featuring Corbett Smith and Rick Gosselin:

On which player made the biggest difference against the Steelers:

Smith: “I think you have to give it to (Tony) Romo if you’re basing it on the offensive side of the ball. Goose said that team was right for the taking. They just had guys off the street that he was throwing against. But you have to complete those passes, and he did a good job of that. He played within control. He found some other receivers. He brought (Jason) Witten back into the fold and threw a touchdown pass to him. It was a good solid performance by him, and it’s exactly what they needed.”

Gosselin: “When Tony Romo is on, the Cowboys can beat anybody they play. When he’s off, when he’s throwing the interceptions, they can lose to anybody they play. Right now, they are playing the best football of the season now that he’s given them a chance.”

Gosselin: “Brandon Carr. Without that interception, they don’t win the game. I thought whoever won the toss was going to win the game. I think you have to give it to Carr based on what he’s been through just the trauma of his last 10 days, going to two funerals, losing a good friend and former teammate, losing another former teammate, the Josh Brent thing. It’s been more traumatic for him than anybody else and yet to step and make the biggest play in their biggest game of the season, I though he was deserving.”
